About: I’ve been around dogs in the house since I was born! I treat every dog as if they were my own, and look forward to making our time enjoyable for me and your pet. I have previous dog walking experience in Ann Arbor. Friends and family have turned to me for advice on pet care and assistance with walks and sitting. I currently work remotely with flexible scheduling, so my time can be centered around your pet’s needs! I enjoy walks and spending time outdoors so would love to accompany your pet. My home currently does not allow pets, so my services are primary walks outdoors or at your home. I can manage pets in the your home to meet your needs!

About: Hi there, my preferred name is Cameron! I’ve lived and cared for a terrier for most of my life and have experience pet-sitting a shih tzu mix, cavalier king charles spaniel, labrador retriever, Australian shepherd, and even a bunny! Although I’ve never had a cat, I also have many friends with cats who I’ve spent a lot of time with. I’m responsible, communicative, and love animals :) I’m a first year masters student at U of M with a fairly light schedule this semester, including no classes on Mondays and only one class on Wednesdays and Fridays. Generally, I have some free time in the morning and evenings. I will follow your instructions and communicate about any questions or concerns, and I’ll do everything I can to ensure your pets are cared for, played with, and fed! I love animals, so I’m excited to meet your pets and treat them with the love and care they deserve :)
About: I’m a neuroscience major at the University of Michigan and have extensive experience with large dogs!! I have 3 german shepherds back home who I miss very dearly, and would be more than happy to walk your dog(s) or keep them company! My family trained all of our dogs very thoroughly and I have learned to read and take care of dogs very well according to their individual needs. As a part time student over the summer, I have very open availability except for Monday and Wednesday mornings (free after 11am) and Sunday afternoons (free before 1 and after 3) I know to stay calm in situations that are stressful for dogs and that building a rapport with them can take time. I'll also make sure they get plenty of opportunities to sniff around and explore on their walks so that they have a great time.
“I recently adopted my dog, Ziggy, from a shelter. He's a sweet, gentle dog, though has a bit of separation anxiety. Abigail K. clearly loves and understands dogs, and she and Zig got along well from the start. When I returned home I was glad (and relieved) to see Ziggy calm and relaxed, lying next to her on the couch. She also texted me about 15 minutes after I left home to let me know that Ziggy was doing fine. I've already booked her for a longer stay.”

Meghan T.
“Conversation with Gemini expand_moreedit Write a testimonial from me for Meghan Tuttle, who is my daughter and is 19 years old. The testimonial is for her to work as a dog walker. Meghan and our family have had large dogs, in particular German shepherds, since she was 7 years old. We have raised them since they were puppies. During this time, Meghan learned how to train puppies and then to train dogs through this first hand experience. Part of this involved walking the dogs, first with one of her parents and then eventually on her own. Meghan has shown not only that she can take great care of dogs and can handle large dogs but also that she has great care for dogs. Show drafts expand_more volume_up To Whom It May Concern: I am writing this testimonial to recommend my daughter, Meghan Tuttle, for the position of dog walker. Meghan is nineteen years old, and since she was seven years old, our family has raised large dogs, German shepherds in particular. Meghan has been intimately involved with these dogs since they were puppies. During this time, Meghan has learned first-hand how to train puppies and how to train dogs as they have grown up. As part of this, she has had to walk the dogs, initially with one of her parents, but eventually on her own as she has grown older and more experienced. Through this process, Meghan has shown that she not only can take great care of dogs and can handle large dogs but also that she has great affection for dogs. Therefore, I highly recommend Meghan to be a dog walker. I can assure you that she will demonstrate not only her competence in taking care of dogs but also her dedication to their well-being. Sincerely, Steve Tuttle”
